"General Hospital" Sneak Peek With Jeff Burton

Perhaps, it is not exactly like the high-profile appearance by Carl Edwards on Fox's "24" or even Jeff Gordon hosting "Regis and Kelly". But, this Wednesday Jeff Burton gets his opportunity to have a little TV fun outside of the NASCAR world.

Click here for a sneak peek from ESPN the Magazine of Burton's afternoon appearance on the legendary "General Hospital" TV soap opera. It sounds like a lot of fun.

Burton continues to be the unofficial mayor of NASCAR and with good reason. A family man with a supportive wife and a good perspective on life, Burton is a throwback to drivers who enjoyed the sport while trying hard to raise a family and have some fun.

While he has an occasional TV interview, Burton seems content right now to be just a driver and a dad. This season fans have seen the emergence of Hermie Sadler, Ricky Craven and Ray Evernham on high-profile TV assignments. Perhaps, this is in the future for Burton.

Thanks to ESPN for the story link, please feel free to offer your comments on the Burton appearance on GH by clicking the comments button below. This is a family friendly website, please keep that in mind while posting.

JD - General Hospital may be cool but did you see that ESPN announced they are covering the Bristol Legends race live and Ned Jarrett is returning to ESPN to call the race with DJ Saturday night. How cool is that? Original posting worthy, No? I'll take Rusty Wallace to win...unless one of the 70+ legends puts him in the wall. Bring it on.

Use to watching GH every day after nursing school and haven't been back since I graduated. Have the DVR set, this should be interesting, I wonder if I'll know anyone besides Jeff, boy how things change.
